Sikon: Contrary to popular belief, the "I can't see a thing in this helmet" line was in the script.

Well, unless both of these are fake.

Fire Walk: "Related to No Fourth Wall." Huh? How so? It's a trope relating to the production of the work, but has nothing to do with the 4th wall.


Micah: Removed the Avatar examples, which don't really fit:

  • In Avatar The Last Airbender, Sokka's character shifted from Deadpan Snarker to Plucky Comic Relief and Butt-Monkey after his comedian voice-actor gave him a much more lively portrayal than originally intended.
    • When Aang arrived on Kyoshi Island, one of the villagers was simply suppose to faint, but the animator extended this to him going briefly becoming spastic and foaming at the mouth, and thus we have "Foamy Mouth Guy".

That Other 1 Dude: On retrospect, I get removing the second one (which I added), but why the first? Are we only counting stuff like single lines?


Grev: Removed the second Alan Rickman in Die Hard example because it's both an example of and already in Enforced Method Acting.


Antheia: Does this count? It didn't quite fit into Enforced Method Acting, since those are supposed to be intentional:

  • The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers, unintentionally: Aragorn and company come across the battlefield where the Riders of Rohan slaughtered the Uruk-Hai that had kidnapped Merry and Pippin, with the two hobbits apparently ending up as collateral damage. Enraged, Aragorn kicks an Uruk-Hai helmet, and collapses to the ground with an agonized cry. The sheer level of pain in that cry, and the realistic way in which he collapsed, were mostly due to him breaking a toe when kicking the helmet.


Joysweeper: I made the mistake of holding stingy antiseptic rinse in my mouth while reading this bit. Thanks, TV Tropes, for this combination of joy and pain.
  • According to legend, during a performance of Don Juan, as the title character descended into Hell, the stage elevator lowering him malfunctioned and stopped. Then it reversed. The actor's response was to sing, "Oh my God, how wonderful - Hell is full!"


I'm not sure whether this belongs in Throw It In! or Hilarious Outtakes, as it wasn't exactly in the episode and it wasn't unintentional either: at the end of Supernatural 406, "Yellow Fever", the credits start and then cut to an extended take of Jensen Ackles lip-synching to "Eye of the Tiger," hamming it up for the camera crew to their audible amusement. It deserves to be mentioned somewhere, dammit!

Antheia: Hilarious Outtakes, maybe?


This last for 4 days under the entry for Titanic:
  • Also originally the ship wasn't supposed to sink, but when it did, it spurred a rash of improvised acting so touching that they changed the title to "Titanic" (originally, "Unfaithful: The Reckoning"), shot the bookend scenes with the salvage crew, and changed the name of Kathy Bates character.

  • It was good while it lasted. To explain to the person who removed it, I think my explanation makes more sense that the truth, which is that James Cameron decided to make a movie called the Titanic when it really should have been called the Wacky Adventures of Jack and Rose. I thought it was in the spirit of this article. Oh well.
